Got my hands on some .40S&W so I can contemplate taking the aforementioned pistol out to the range again soon. But I've discovered something.
Either my left hand / arm is STILL not back up to snuff (fractured the wrist BAD in June, surgery to get 2 plates in the wrist, finally wrapped OT in late August,) or the spring in that pistol is a LOT stiffer than I remember.
Pistol off safe, no magazine, and I can't get the slide back more than a couple millimeters. If I thumb the hammer back first, I can get the slide back it looks like far enough (I really need to get my snapcaps and verify this,) but hoo boy does it seem stiff, especially compared to my 92FS.
I realize this might be a long shot, but if anyone else has one of these, could you tell me if it's me or if I need to get the pistol looked at?
